Please remember that snow and ice conditions will continue through the spring, and make appropriate preparations. Please be patient while driving in the snow; every year the District's landscaping and irrigation systems are damaged when drivers go outside the roadway to pass vehicles stranded in snow (especially on Londonderry Drive near the Recreation Center). Driving outside the roadway is illegal, and the damage to our landscaped grounds is expensive. If you witness this happening, please report the vehicle license number and description of the driver to the District using the "Contact Us" form on the District's website.
Keep away from frozen ponds, and instruct your children to keep away, as well – they are dangerous places to play.
Residents are responsible for removing snow from sidewalks adjacent to their properties, including sidewalks along side yards of corner lots. The District removes snow from the District - maintained walking trails within District landscaped areas, parks, and open space. If there's a lot of snow, try not to push it into the road - if El Paso County's plows come through, they'll push the snow back on to your driveway or sidewalk. If you have questions about your snow removal responsibilities, or if you think the District missed an area, please call our office.
As always, you can learn much about our community and the District that serves you by checking our website at www.meridianservice.org . You can also call our office at 719-495-6567 or stop by in person (we’re in The Shops at Meridian Ranch, 11886 Stapleton Drive).

The form can be found in the portal under forms – Lodge Reservation, or owners can stop by the lodge and visit with Estelle to pick up a form. Weekends are filling up fast, so if you are planning to utilize the lodge, please check out the amenity calendar in the portal.
Please note, children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult, they cannot be in the lodge by themselves. We understand the bus drops off children at the lodge, but this is not for them to stop by on Tuesday’s, Thursday’s or Friday’s to be hanging out without an adult.
The backyard of the Stonebridge lodge is not a dog park! We have had several instances where there are dogs without leashes and owners using this area as their own dog park. The HOA has requested for additional dog stations be added to the walking trail by Stonebridge lodge to be utilized for walkers with dogs.

While we have experienced an abnormally wet month, with good snowfall, you still want to pay attention to your landscaping to ensure your trees and shrubs are getting enough water. Remember that when the temperatures reach 45 degrees or warmer it is nice to give the shrubs, trees, and grass a drink of water. It is advised by professional landscapers to water approximately one minute per shrub and 2-3 minutes per tree. Some trees do better with a slow drip (a 5-gallon bucket with a small hole drilled into the side works great!), but you will want to speak to a nursery worker to find out what will work best for your trees. You can also move the snow from your walkways and driveway to the base of your trees or around your shrubs to insulate them during the cold and slowly water them as the weather warms. This is especially helpful if you have areas of your landscaping that do not get a good snowpack after a storm. It is not recommended to use snow from the sidewalk to water plants as this snow can often have chemicals from ice melt products which can harm your plants.
It is crucial to winter water your evergreens such as pine and spruce trees since not watering can lead to plant damage. Remember, all front yards in Meridian Ranch have a minimum requirement for trees and shrubs, and if you lose them to winter kill, then they will need to be replaced in the spring. You can find the requirements for your Lot in Section 5.2 of the DRC 1 Design Guidelines or Section 6.2 of the DRC 2 Design Guidelines.
Once the plants have received a good watering, they will also appreciate getting mulch around them. Now is a good time to assess your hardscape and replenish the mulch on your property. Your plants will appreciate it too, as it helps keep the moisture in the ground. Replenish mulch beds with mulch that is natural in color, with no added pigment.
